About

County

San Luis Obispo County Parks has been managing the operations of Coastal Dunes RV Park and Campground since October 1, 2006 and is located along Highway 1 on the scenic Central Coast. The park is conveniently located next to the Grover Beach Amtrak Station, adjacent to the railroad tracks. Throughout the park, there are restrooms, hot shower facilities, and laundromats. If the outdoors is more your style, relax at our heated swimming pool.

Please Note: The swimming pool is closed until further notice for maintenance.

During your stay you don’t want to miss out on the many local activities and attractions that the Central Coast has to offer. Pismo State Beach is a short walk from Coastal Dunes and for the more adventurous, ride an all-terrain vehicle at Oceano Dunes. A must see is a show at The Great American Melodrama just minutes away! Spend the day exploring award-winning wineries or meander in Old Town Arroyo Grande. Whatever your interest, Coastal Dunes is sure to please and we look forward to providing you a great experience with friendly service.

Better than sleeping in the car

We stayed here for a night when we arrived at Pismo Beach with no booking, and state campgrounds were full due to COVID-19 diminishing capacity. This campground is squeezed between the railway line to the east and the PCH to the west, in a not very wide strip of land. (Thankfully, the railway line is not very busy, with only 1 train in the evening, and 1 in the morning.) Our site was towards the southern end, and abutted the fence bordering the railway line. There were only 3 or 4 other sites empty in the entire campground (which has over 230 sites). There were mainly RVs throughout the campground, but a smattering of tents too (including ours).

The campsites had the basic fire pit and table, plus a faucet. The toilet block was close, but it was small and not particularly clean. The toilet cubicle doors were bizarrely short in both directions (i.e. the space from the floor to the bottom of the door was way too much for privacy! Not to mention being too short at the top too.) There was no soap dispenser for the hand basins, which I think should be mandatory during a pandemic (and especially considering how much money the campground is making each weekend, let alone at other times). I note that the campground is run by the San Luis Obispo County Parks. Frankly, I think they should upgrade the toilet blocks (at least, the one at southern end; perhaps the others are better but as I didn't use them I can't be sure....)

If we'd have been in our RV, we'd have preferred to save ourselves almost $50 and stayed on a street somewhere. This saved us from sleeping in our car, and made us appreciate other campgrounds we've stayed at all the more.

Great location but no privacy

I was attending a weekend Jeep event at Pismo Dunes and had booked a space in the OHV area on the beach. When I got there the wind was so bad it was impossible to put up a tent. So I looked up this place, which is probably 1/2 mile from the entrance to the beach.

The campground has mixture of tent and pull-through sites. All sites have full hookups, and include a fire ring and picnic table. The bathrooms were clean and had showers, but everything was very old. There was also a pool and laundry rooms on the property.

The sites were flat, but there was no barrier between you and your neighbors. The RV sites looked very cramped but the tent sites seemed adequately spaced for the most part. I stayed in site 252 which appeared to be some kind of double site, because there were two sets of hookups in the space (one of which required a large pole in the middle of the site).

In spite of the convenience of the location, there were drawbacks. The campground is narrow and situated directly between PCH and the railroad tracks on either side. So traffic noise was significant, and as an added bonus, every now and then Amtrack would roll past.

Over all, it met all the basic needs, was well maintained, and was close to the beach. And the noise was probably less than I would get sleeping in the OHV camping area.

Popular Spot but Great Location

This campsite is just south of the City of Pismo Beach along Highway 1 (albeit its called something different along this stretch). It’s a mixture of tent and trailer camping. Plenty of amenities on site but also very much a communal experience. Don’t expect to have a lot of space between you and your neighbor or much privacy. But heck there are stones throw from the beach and there is a trail on the south end to access. Also adjacent to the monarch butterfly sanctuary

Trestles is pretty decent

The trestles is on my the southern end of the park and was nicer than the the rest of the park. A little noisy but all in all not too bad.

Great location, horrible facility

The location can hardly be beat. It's easy walking distance (~1 mile) to the water, and right off of Hwy 1. We love to go on the sand dunes and take disc sleds down them. The facility, however is really old and needs many upgrades. I've been coming to this location since the 70's (when it was called Sand & Surf). Other than losing the game room, there haven't been a lot of changes. The bathrooms are exactly the same as they were in the 70's and the sites really could use at least partial paving. You get out of the sand, but can't get out of the dirt. So sad! We've visited in July and November and have had the same problem in both instances.
